Which bond angle, theta would result in ...

Which bond angle, `theta` would result in the maximum dipole moment for the triatomic molecule `XY_2` ?

A

`= 90^@`

B

`=120^@`

C

`=150^@`

D

`=180^@`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`mu = sqrt(mu_1^2 + mu_2^2 + 2mu_1mu_2 costheta)`
If `theta = 90^@, mu` is maximum
